T o all whom 'it may concern: v

Be it known that l, PHILIP B. HORNE, a citizen of the United States,residin at Denver, in the county of Denver and tate of Colorado, haveinvented new and useful Improvements in Type-Writer Attachments, ofwhich the following is a specilication.

This invention relates to typewriter attachments and more particularlyto copy holders.

The object of the invention is the (provision of a simple, cheaplyconstructe etlicient and durable device of this lcharacter whereby Anotebooks may be conveniently held in an advantageous position for theoperator and whereby single sheets of copying may be conveniently heldand the lines thereon brought into view as the operator copies them.

A further object of thev invention is the provision of novel means formounting the device upon the typewriter and support-ing.V

the sheet holder in proper position and for throwing the sheet holder toinoperative po-A sition when it is desired to utilize the note booksupport. A still further object of the invention is the provision of anovel hinge connection between the supporting 'standard and the rollholding and book supporting frame.

Further objects of the invention lwill ap pear as the following specificdescription is` read in connection with the accompanying drawing whichforms a part of this appli-` cation and in which: Y

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the device removed from the machine andshowing the i position of the parts when utilized for holding sheets ofcopy. Fig. 2 is a side eleva.

tion of the same showing the` device attached to a machine. Figl 3 is afront elevation showing the device removed from themachine and inposition to receive a note book.

Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the device with '.parts arranged as inFig. 3. Fig. 5 is a de- Y ltail perspective view of the mountingcasting. Fig. 6 is a detail sectional view with the arts arranged'as inFig. 9.. Fig. 7 is a simi ar section with the parts arranged as 1in Fig.4. Fig.V 8 is an enlarged top plan view partly in section of the sheetsupportin rollen Fig.y 9 is a detail sectional view through the booksupporting rack showing the folded position or the supporting arm indotted lines.

Referring more particularly to the drawbeing odset therefrom is removedfrom the frame so that the supporting standard 5 will be arranged out ofthe way of allthe parts of the machine. This supporting standard is asquare tubular member which is adapted to be yentered by the upwardlyprojecting linger 6 cast integrally with the bridge piece 3 and with themembers 1 .and 2. The upper end of the standard has secured thereto onemember 7 of a hinge 8 which connects the standard with the copyholderframe 9. The member 7 is provided with a plurality ot upwardlyprojecting cars arranged in parallelism and apertured .to receive aconnecting bolt `10 which joins 'the member 7 with the opposite member11. The member 11 is rigidly secured to the frame 9 and is provided withconnecting ears 12 apertured to receive the bolt 10. The member 11 isalso provided with a lateral flange 13 which limits the downwardmovement of the frame 9 by its engagement with the inner side oi thestandard '5. 0n

the opposite side of the member 11 an outwardly projecting iange le'isformed which limits the rearward movement of the frame when the saine isarranged for note bookV support as will hereinafter 'be described.

Secured to the flange 13 oit the member 11 isa book supporting shelf 15which is provided with an upstanding iange 16 on its outer edge toprevent the disengagement or the lower end of the bock and pivotallymounted in bearings 17 on the shelf is a clamp supporting arm 18 whichis provided with a lateral shoulder 18 adapted to engage the sheli2 andlimit the upward movement of said arm so as to insure its verticalposition when in use. The outer end of the arm 18 has adjustably mountedthereon a spring-pressed clamp 19 which is adapted to engage the notebook and hold it in upright position. rlhe frame 9 comprises a tubularyoke-shaped member and has inserted in its ends and secured therein inany suitable manner the bearingmeinbers 20 in which 1is journaled theshaft 21 oft the sheet roller 22.

This' roller is similar in all respects to' a typewriter platen and hassecured tothe fics@ outer ends of its shaft the milled disks 23 I forrotating the same.

Loosely mounted upon the shaft- 21 be tween I,the bearin members 20 andthe roller 22 are substantia ly triangular bracket arms 24 and 25, oneleg of each bracket being rigidly connected to the adjoining arm of theframe 9 so as to prevent rotation of the brackets with the shaftandroller. The opposite end of the bracket 24 is provided with a squarenotch to receive the flat end of a shaft 26 and the opposite end of thebracket 25 has secured thereto a semi-circular arm which is connected toboth legs of the bracket and has an extension 27 .with a squared notchtherein to receive the opposite end of the shaft 26. rIhis shaft 26 hasjournaled thereon the paper guiding apron 28 with its extension guldearms 29 which are held in engagement with the roller by means of thesprings 30 keyed to the shaft 36 and engaging the apron 28. Theextension arms 21 also carry'the paper friction roller 31 and the lineguide 32.` The bracket arm 25 also carries a spring pawl 33 which isadapted to engage the ratchet teeth 34 on the roller 22.

The construction of the specific parts of the paper kroller justdescribed in no way `form any part 'of my invention' and may be the lineof vision of the operator when in p another position.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed, is

In a device ofthe class described, the combination with a supportingstandard, a copy holding frame connected to the standard, a book shelfcarried by the frame, bearings secured to the shelf, va supporting armpivotally mounted in the said bearings, said arm being provided with alateral shoulder adapted to engage the shelf and limit the movement ofsaid arm in one'direction, and

a clamp mounted on the outer end of the arm for engaging a note book.

In testimony whereof I aix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
